For the purpose of securing uniformity the following is established as the only standard gauge for sheet and plate iron and steel in the united states of america namely.
8 gauge stainless steel sheet thickness.
Gauge to thickness chart gauge stainless galvanized sheet steel aluminum fraction inches mm inches mm inches mm inches mm 30 0 0125 0 33 0 0157 0 40 0 0120 0 30 0 0100 0 25.
8 gauge 4 191 mm aluminum brass copper.
This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications.
Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel.
Approximate thickness in millimeters.
For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different.
2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress corrosive chemicals and heat.
Kynar aluminum for metal roofing.

Approximate thickness in fractions of an inch.
Thus a 10.
Approximate thickness in decimal parts of an inch.
This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
8 gauge 4 115 mm.
Kynar galvalume steel for metal roofing and gutters.
8 gauge 4 176 mm stainless steel.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
Use it for high pressure applications in caustic environments.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Also known as duplex stainless steel it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel.
26 gauge 24 gauge 20 gauge 18 gauge 16 gauge 14 gauge 1 8 and 1 4.
For different materials of steel the same gauge will also correspond to different mm.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
